What software/website to use to create a trading journal?

T

traderday321

I want to create a journal (in addition to the usual entry, exit, date/time, strategy used, comments about trade, etc) I want to include the chart image of the trade as well. This way when I refer to the journal I get a visual of the trade as well.

Any recommendations of websites/software other than excel?

thanks in advance
 
I create a discord channel and break it down into different sections. I create topics/sections for entries, exits, research, main journal, forecasts. It does a good job capturing images and its free. Having different topics makes it easier to jump back to what I need to review. Plus I have people following my trades so they just join and get notifications. All the entries have timestamps so I can go back and see when the entries were made.

i use notepad. tried excel too. good idea re charts.

back when i started, in the 90s in a waikiki condo, i'd keep two 3-ring binders... a red one with printouts of charts that stopped out , and a green one with wins. then it became 2 red binders sigh. took me years to figure this sht out
 
I use my own script for this, done in Python. Connect to Broker API, get trades, push it live to a Microsoft Sharepoint Excel sheet and add a chart some time after the trade was closed.

It's not that hard to do this in Python, if you have a bit of coding knowledge. If daily is enough for you, it's even for free. If you need intraday, you need a data subscription though.
